The world worships me as the White Snake Immortal

Chapter 157 The Five Kingdoms
Early the next morning, the envoys from the four countries left the Sui Dynasty one after another.

And in the corner where no one noticed, a boy who was only sixteen or seventeen years old walked into a private house with heavy steps. The family of three in the private house had already been brutally murdered.

What's even more miserable is that the entire face of the family's newly crowned son was ripped off.

The young man who walked into the room was dismissive of this.

He casually took out a bottle of dark green potion from his arms and poured it on the corpses of the family of three, but in the blink of an eye the three corpses on the ground disappeared without a trace.

"Sister Zhang, is Sister Zhang at home..."

At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly came from outside the door, and then a hurried woman broke in from the door.

Hearing this, the young man narrowed his eyes slightly, then walked out of the door, bowed his hands and said, "Aunt Wang!"

"Oh, it's Xiao Fang. Your mother doesn't have it at home. There's a discount at the Dongshi wet market. Eggs cost five for a penny. You'd be a bastard if you don't take advantage of this good thing. Ouch, what's the use of telling you this, Sister Zhang? , Sister Zhang..."

Aunt Wang was about to rush into the house as she spoke, but a young man named Fang Mu stopped her and said, "Unfortunately, Aunt Wang, my parents have gone to visit relatives in other places, and now I am the only one at home!"

"Ah, I went to visit my relatives. You see what a fuss is going on. I have to go there alone for Aunt Wang. Why don't you take the trouble to go to Dongshi with Aunt Wang?"

"No, Aunt Wang, I still have schoolwork to do. The provincial examination will be in a few days, and I need to prepare well!"

"Oh, why don't you say that your parents are lucky to have such a good son like you? My silly boy spends all day fooling around. If only he could be half as sensible as you, then Aunt Wang won't bother you. Well, I wish you a good name on the gold list, and when you become a high official in the future, don’t forget Aunt Wang!”

"Congratulations to Aunt Wang!"

Fang Mu bowed his hands and sent Aunt Wang away, then straightened up and threw off his sleeves, turned back and walked into the house.

Ten months later, the first provincial examination after the new emperor of the Sui Dynasty came to the throne began, and Fang Mu rushed to the examination room with many candidates.

Needless to say, the final result was that Fang Mu ranked No. 1 in the provincial examination.

His literary talent was valued by Huang Wen, the current leader in the court, and he was accepted as a disciple.

The next year, the Great Sui Palace Examination began, and Fang Mu once again finished the list with the No. 1 result.

In the end, he successfully entered the court, and his starting point was very high. He was the secretary who followed Huang Wen.

Another year later, a river disaster broke out in the Sui Dynasty. The whole court was shocked. Fang Mu asked Huang Wen to go to the prefecture and county where the river disaster was the most serious to serve as the county magistrate.

It is strange to say that Fang Mu immediately stopped the river troubles as soon as he took office. Coupled with Fang Mu's comfort and distribution of relief supplies, the people's perception of the new county magistrate instantly skyrocketed.

These actions of his were also seen by Huang Wen, and he was very fond of Fang Mu. After all, it is every official's lifelong dream to have such a proud disciple.

During this process, Fang Mu also "accidentally" met Xianyun Yehe, an experienced Taoist who traveled far and wide.

This man called himself Xu Guzi, a monk who had traveled to Beihuang Haizhou, and he fell in love with Fang Mu at first sight.

Under Fang Mu's recommendation, Xu Guzi agreed to help the Sui Dynasty stabilize the country's lineage, and was willing to be a guest of the Sui Dynasty.

Fang Mu's political achievements were already outstanding, and coupled with his meritorious service in recommending Xu Guzi, he suddenly made rapid progress. Yang Huan directly transferred him back to Beijing to serve as the Minister of Rites.

Fang Mu took this position in just two years, and he is now less than 20 years old.This speed of promotion may only be matched by his teacher Huang Wen.

There is another more important point that no one in the court is aware of.

That is, since Fang Mu entered the court as an official, the entire Sui Dynasty has been a land of smooth weather and clear seas and rivers.

The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the army recuperates. It can be called a prosperous era that is rare in a century.

On this basis, the Sui Dynasty's military capabilities were also improving rapidly. Not only the equipment was improved several times, but the physique of the soldiers was also improved.

Coupled with the fact that Xu Guzi opened the door of convenience and trained batches of elite monks for the Sui Dynasty, the originally weak Sui Dynasty was closing the gap with the other four countries at a rapid speed.

Everything seems to be developing in a good direction!
Until late one night!
Taichang City, Xishan Taixu Temple.

Wearing a green robe and with long hair like a waterfall, Fang Mu climbed up the steps, showing elegance and dignity in his movements.

A few years have passed, and the tenderness of his youth has faded from his face, replaced by wise eyes and a mouth that always has a smile.

The door of Taixu Temple was ajar, as if waiting for his arrival.

Fang Mu pushed open the door without any surprise, and then ducked into the temple.

At this time, Xu Guzi, the master of Taixu Temple, was standing in the square outside Sanqing Hall waiting, with a furnace of incense burning beside him.

There was silence all around, and hundreds of disciples in Taixu Temple seemed to have disappeared without a trace at this moment.

Fang Mu walked slowly beside Xu Guzi, who hurriedly bent down and said respectfully: "My subordinate Xu Guzi has met Lord Kailing!"

Fang Mu gently waved his wide sleeves and said softly: "No need to be polite, what news does the others have!"

"Replying to your lord, Ao Yin just sent a message today. He discovered the activities of the disciples of the military family in Daqian. He said that he is likely to have been targeted by the military family. He asked you to be more careful!"

"Hmph, it's these troublesome guys again. I'll kill them after I capture the first one in Xiluanchengzhou. What other news is there?"

"Ms. Hu also received a letter. In the letter, she said that the Miao royal family had discovered her identity and began to doubt the identity of the Miao empress. At this time, Madam Hu and the empress are under their surveillance!"

Fang Mu narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the words, and said calmly: "The Big Fox Clan has always been rich in strange people. I didn't expect that even Madam Hu couldn't deceive them. Send a message to Madam Hu and ask her who the Great Fox Clan is taking the lead this time. Whoever you are, leave the next thing to me!"

"Yes, other than that everything is fine with Daliang and Taicang, and all situations are under our control!"

"Well, the strength of the Great Sui Dynasty should soon catch up. As long as the Four Kingdoms are in hand, even if the Miao Territory Fox Clan notices it, it will be too late. Moreover, they will not notice it!"

As he said this, Fang Mu showed an enigmatic smile, and Xuguzi also laughed when he saw it.

The Great Sui Dynasty is falling into their trap step by step. When the time is right, a war affecting the five countries will completely break out!

Afterwards, Fang Mu told Xu Guzi that he could start handing over the secret method of blood talisman to his monks.

When the battle begins, these people will become Xu Guzi's secret killing move. Once triggered, the world will collapse!
